Hi,

I am searching for a way to access the Samsung OS display driver file in order to extract some hardware specific parameters for our own display driver. I assume the driver is in some of the rsrc files of the firmware. Does anyone know how to mount or decompress these files? Any other idea to find the driver is welcome, too.

Cheers,

Dopi

- you can mount the firmware FFS file under linux or open it with
WinImage under Windows
- you can access phone files with tkfileexplorer
- there should also be tools from qualcomm to access files deeper in
the phone that are not accessible by default

Hi Cedricm,

I know about the way to access the ffs. But how about the .rc1 files? I am not sure if the file I am looking for will be visible in tk explorer.

Cheers,

as far as i know the RC1 file is not "extractable". You can extract
files with a hexeditor if you know the correct start and end bytes...

i think it would be better to set the phone in "qualcomm mode" to have
a deeper look in system files
maybe this can help?

I am not sure if the Qualcomm mode will work for the Jet as the architecture is different. But maybe its worth a try.

Cheers,

I tried to find something via the TK-explorer link. Did not find anything related to the display but binary files that could help with the wifi and the camera. However, the display parameters still need to be found.

Cheers,

i have experimented with the qualcomm mode but haven't been able to
get it working properly
i am able to put the phone in qualcomm usb mode and let it connect
with QPST, but when i try to browse the phone with EFS explorer the
program freezes. Maybe because the version of QPST i am using is too
old and incompatible with the qualcomm chipset...
